About Luxury Ski Chalets St Martin de Belleville, France

A great luxury ski holiday destination for families, the relaxed and pretty village of St. Martin de Belleville, dating back to the 16th century with its quaint church in the centre, makes a good alternative to its larger neighbours of Meribel or Courchevel.

If you want the endless Three Valleys ski area on the doorstep of your luxury ski chalet, without the hussle and bussle of its major resorts, St. Martin de Belleville is a great choice.

This traditional, unspoilt village with a pretty church is a quiet and highly appealing base for those looking for a luxury ski holiday where you can escape the crowds but still enjoy some of the best skiing in the Alps.

St. Martin de Belleville has really only been on the ski map since the 1980s, when chairlifts were built that linked it to the slopes of Mèribel and Les Menuires. Since then, the village has developed significantly, but in traditional style, with properties built of stone and wood, and it remains small and peaceful.

What we love about St. Martin de Belleville

The rare combination of a quiet, attractive, traditional village and the slam-dunk impact of the magnificent, renowned 3 Valleys ski area where there is enough skiing to keep us happy for years.

Getting there

Geneva Airport is a 2 hour 30 minute drive and Moutiers train station is 30 mins.

The Skiing

A stay in a luxury ski chalet in St. Martin de Belleville gives quick and easy access to the biggest ski area in the world, with 600km of pistes at your disposal in the 3 Valleys. The altitude of the ski area goes right up to 3200m, and there is plenty of excellent varied skiing above 2000m so good snow conditions can nearly always be found somewhere.

All levels of skier are catered for in the 3 Valleys, with lots of red and blue terrain, and off-piste for experts.

For those choosing not to ski, there are several shops, a sports centre, and dog-sledding if you want to try something a little different.

Best Places To Eat and Drink

While the après-ski scene is certainly more vibrant in Mèribel, venture out of your luxury ski chalet and you will find live music at the Pourquoi Pas, best enjoyed slumped into a squashy sofa in front of the roaring fire. The Brewski and The Dahlia are also rather cheerful post-skiing.

And when it comes to eating out, there’s no shortage of places to grab a bite here if staying in a self catered luxury ski chalet. From pizza at the Petit Creux, to traditional French fare at upmarket Etoile des Neiges, the variety is surprisingly good for such a small resort. For Michelin-star quality it’s easy to head up to the Bouitte in St. Marcel, or if it’s a warm atmosphere and good honest food you’re after, try the Montagnard.

Of course, you’ll be very well catered for in a luxury chalet, with a private chef on hand to craft delicious gourmet dining, but on their night off, there’s nothing better than sampling the local cuisine. Your host can arrange restaurant reservations and, if required, transport to eateries further a-field.

For those who have travelled extensively around the globe you probably hanker back to the time you were on a luxury chalet holiday in the valley of Chamonix and recall, with fondness just how spectacularly beautiful it is.

From the ski domains of Brévent and Flégère on the north side of the valley, the jagged peaks reflect the afternoon sun and lead southwest towards the Mer De Glace. An old funicular railway can be seen climbing around the back of the of the Aiguille Du Midi and a glance to the right will lead you to Europe’s highest mountain, Mont Blanc. It is a view of breathtaking proportions and one you’ll want to savour again and again on a luxury ski holiday in Chamonix.

The Mer Du Glace or Vallee Blanche is one of the world’s few advancing glaciers and thus offers year round skiing. The Aiguille Du Midi is Europe’s highest accessible point without the need for crampons and is accessed by, until recently, the world’s longest single span cable car that effortlessly transports you up to a dizzying 3842m. From here the views across France, Italy and Switzerland are sensational and the peak of Mont Blanc, although a further 1000m up, feels like it’s touching distance away.

St. Martin de Belleville is one of the oldest ski resorts in Europe and well renowned for its superb skiing, lively nightlife and of course spectacular luxury ski chalets. There are myriad activities to do that don’t require skis or snowboards making Chamonix a favourite for families and non-skiers too.
